SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
Non-Federal entities (states, local
governments, Indian tribes, institutions
of higher education, and nonprofit
organizations) are required by the Single
Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (31
U.S.C. 7501, et seq.) (Act) and 2 CFR
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Apr 02, 2018
Jkt 244001
part 200, ‘‘Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards,’’ (Uniform Guidance) to have
audits conducted of their Federal
awards and file the resulting reporting
packages (Single Audit reports) and data
collection forms (Form SF–SAC) with
the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC).
The Form SF–SAC is Appendix X to 2
CFR part 200. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
designated the Census Bureau as the
FAC to serve as the government-wide
repository of record for Single Audit
reports.
The Single Audit process is a primary
method Federal agencies and passthrough entities use to provide oversight
for Federal awards and reduce risk of
non-compliance and improper
payments. This includes following up
on audit findings and questioned costs.
The proposed changes are to revise
some existing data elements and add
data elements that would make the
reports easier for Federal agencies, passthrough entities, and the public to use.
The proposed changes are to include
the following required elements of the
reporting package on the data collection
form: The text of the federal award audit
findings, the text of the corrective action
plan, and the notes to the schedule of
expenditures of federal awards (SEFA).
The proposed revisions to the Form SF–
SAC can be obtained by download from
the FAC homepage at https://
harvester.census.gov/facweb or by
contacting the Federal Audit
Clearinghouse at erd.fac@census.gov or
800–253–0696.
This is a reinstatement, with changes,
of Form SF–SAC, OMB control number
0607–0518. Prior to the year 1997, the
Census Bureau was responsible for the
OMB clearance approval process using
OMB control number 0607–0518. In
1997, OMB took over the approval
process for the Form SF–SAC under
OMB control number 0348–0057
(currently expiring June 30, 2019). The
Census Bureau is now resuming
responsibility for obtaining OMB
clearance under the original OMB
control number 0607–0518. The FAC
will continue to collect Single Audit
reports from prior audit years, going
back to audit year 2013, to
accommodate late submissions and
revisions. Late submissions or revisions
from prior years are to use the version
of the Form SF–SAC applicable to that
audit year. The FAC also plans to allow
Non-Federal entities who did not meet
the threshold requiring submission of a
Single Audit report to voluntarily notify
the FAC that they did not meet the
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
14251
reporting threshold. The FAC plans to
put this information on their website.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected
electronically through the FAC’s webbased internet Data Entry System (IDES)
available at https://
harvester.census.gov/facides. IDES can
also be accessed by visiting the FAC
homepage at https://
harvester.census.gov/facweb and then
clicking ‘‘Submit an Audit’’.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0607–0518.
Form Number(s): SF–SAC.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: States, local
governments, Indian tribes, institutions
of higher education, non-profit
organizations (Non-Federal entities) and
their auditors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
80,000 (40,000 auditees and 40,000
auditors).
Estimated Time per Response: 70
hours for each of the 400 large
respondents and 21 hours for each of
the 79,600 small respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,699,600.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0. (This is not the cost of
respondents’ time, but the indirect costs
respondents may incur for such things
as purchases of specialized software or
hardware needed to report, or
expenditures for accounting or records
maintenance services required
specifically by the collection.)
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 31 U.S.C.
Section 7501 et. seq. and 2 CFR part
200.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
